Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream was launched in spring of 2008 with the intent to make the best possible ice cream. This ice cream shop uses traditional methods as well as the best ingredients from small producers locally and around the world. Van Leeuwen is proud of the fact that their ice creams are always free of stabilizers, fillers, gums and corn syrups and they meticulously source our ingredients, never comprising quality or then integrity of anything they make or serve.
